Welcome to our Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings for Week 17 of the 2019 NFL regular season. This week, we examine an undrafted rookie receiver who has strung along a plethora of strong performances, firmly placing himself on the fantasy radar in what is, for many, the latter part of their two-week championship round.

Wide Receiver Outlook Week 17

Earlier in the season, it was Terry McLaurin who stole headlines in Washington. Then, Kelvin Harmon began to show promise. Yet, in recent weeks, no Redskins pass-catcher has been more explosive and more productive than undrafted slot receiver Steven Sims Jr. (WR32).

Remember when Trey Quinn was anointed the slot position in Washington earlier this season? Well that ship has certainly sailed. Sims Jr. starred in Week 16, finishing as the fourth-leading fantasy scorer at the wide receiver position with 25.3 points.

However, Sims Jr.’s performance was certainly no splash in the pan. The wideout has become a major part of the Redksins passing game of late, averaging 9.3 targets per game over the last three weeks, including seeing double-digit targets come his way in back-to-back games.

Sims Jr. will have a great chance to build off of his stellar performances vs. Dallas this coming week. While Dallas does allow the eighth-fewest fantasy points to wideouts this year, they have struggled in recent games against receivers out of the slot.

Since Week 11, every slot receiver to face off with Dallas has registered 71+ receiving yards or scored at least one touchdown against the ‘Boys. In fact, over that span, Dallas has allowed an average of 16.24 points to the slot position, including holding none of those players below 11.6 points.
